About Perry

Perry Wilson is a Canadian author based in Vancouver, BC who has big ideas and an itch to tell stories. Having spent some time on university, a career, and life in general, she returned to writing three years ago and hasn’t looked back since (well, maybe a little, but only while parallel parking).

She is a member of the Vancouver Independent Writers Group, and has self-published several novels. Her next book, Greed, is due out in the fall 2012, and is the second book of the Charity Deacon Investigations thriller series. Her urban fantasy series, the Quinn Larson Quests, follows the adventures of a wizard named Quinn who must contend with volatile fae in the heart of Vancouver.

She also writes the Madeline Journeys, a fantasy series about a high-powered lawyer who finds herself trapped in a magical world. Her previous stand-alone novels are Breaking the Bonds and Closing the Circle.

Like many writers I started young. I didn’t take it seriously at first but I realized that the itch to tell stories wasn’t going to go away. A big chunk of my life got dedicated to learning and earning until I finally managed to crunch out a full manuscript. I sent it off to Harlequin and waited for the reply.

When it came it was a rejection. What I didn’t fully appreciate at the time was that the rejection was really an encouragement. One thing I learned from the experience is that I am not a romance writer. My stories definitely have a romantic element, but pure romance isn’t my thing.

I muddled along for several years with two books that I finally published. Closing the Circle came out last year and Hubris, the first of the Charity Deacon Investigations this year. Since 2008 – the year I found National Novel Writing Month – I have been working on my craft. I know I’ll do some more stand alone stories. They are fun to write and hey, you never know where another series will come from.

I love to hear from my readers. Please take some time to contact me and if you want to be advised of upcoming releases, I’ll add you to the email list.

Happy reading.
